Psychosis as a Personal Crisis by Marius Romme
This book challenges the way people who hear voices are both viewed and treated, emphasising the individual variation between people who suffer from psychosis and putting forward the idea that hearing voices is not in itself a sign of mental illness."In the entire book, there is a laudable effort to free voice hearers from social silence and stigma, and to promote their participation in self-help groups and forums with other persons who live with or lived through similar experiencesFor this reason, this book is also of fundamental value for the persons who hear voices, for their family and friends. It is also necessary reading for any person interested in this innovating therapeutic avant-garde approach because the Hearing Voices Movement is one of social liberation." - Manuel González de Chávez, From the Foreword.
